This week we set a minor record for acid indigestion, after our various visits to the snack places of Ch- arlottetown. In the course of our travels, we found banana splits without ban— anas, hamburgers apparently with no hamburger, and an establishment which turned away free advertisement. Slightly bloated after our consumption of gallons of Eno and cartons of Tums and Rolaids, we sat down to write this article. As you may have guessed by now, our mission to the take— out places of Charlotte- town was on some occasions a disaster. However, we did find a few havens in this wilderness of taste— \' less slops.

Speaking of tasteless slops, we first ventured forth to the A-& W. As we brushed the-flies away,

We tore our gaze from the gumfchewing jaws of the girl preparing the hambur— gers, and, shuddering, Placed our order. During our twelve—minute wait, what little anticipation we had felt slowly drained away as we scrutinized the interesting patterns of the dirt on the walls and floor.‘Finally our Teen- buPeers‘arrived, along with é Hug of the deservedly

infamous diluted orange pap, and the undeservedly famous root beer. We con- cluded that, whoever's root the beer was run from, app— arently didn't have too much to run, since the glass was only half full

of root beer, the rest being foam. we must say that the teenburgers were good. Still, reviewing our overall impressions, we felt the A & W as a take

The kitchens and working area were spotlessly clean and litter free, in spite of the fact that they had just completed their rush hour. Due to the recent” government recomendation that hamburger be cooked above 160 degrees, we in— quired about the cooking

The french fries we fou— nd to be excellent, the milkshakes good, and the hamburgers below the level of those at the A‘& W. The apple turnovers were doughy and tasteless.

In summary, for those who want cleanliness, eff- iciency, unusually low prices, and adequate food, we recommend MacDonald's, while for those who want adequat burgers, ineffic- ently prepared and served, at high prices in unsanit- ary surroundings, we sugg- est the A & W. ~

We were not impressed by the famous "Kentucky fried

,chicken as it seemed to be

more "Kentucky Greased" than anything. In sum we

.did not see anything to

justify it as a good place to go to eat.

We now turn to a brief discussion of the pizza places in Charlottetown. We found as a whole, that the price for a pizza was higher than the amount and often quality of the'

_food would justify. The

three places reviewed were Happy Shack, Pizza Delight and Pizz House.

We found Happy Shack to be dirty, the pizzas grea- sy and burnt and the prices high. The only favorable thing to be said for it is that it serves excellent homemade bread ‘

Pizza Delight was also dirty, the pizzas greasy, and the prices high. Fur— thermore the staff had an unfortunate tendency to suck their fingers after removing pizzas from the oven. -

We now come to the third and last, Pizza House, the best of the three, more accurately if less grammat~ ically correct, thefleast worst. Pizza House is far cleaner than thefiother two, the staff friendlier and the pizzas good.

However, when one con— siders that enough pizza for two might cost up to seven dollars, a burger meal for two at MacDonald's would only come to about $2.50 for two. 30 if you get a craving for pizza, we would recommend making your own, or if you do not have the time or facilities, we suggest Pizza House is

’ the best choice.
